摘要
华裔美国文学的发展历程见证了170多年的中美文化相互交流影响的历史,也记录了华裔移民在异国他乡的艰难奋斗历史。作为美国主流社会文化中的少数族裔文学之一,华裔文学走过了从最初的默默无闻到目前地占据一席之地的发展转变。纵观其发展历史,可以发现华裔群体的共同文化空间,即唐人街,一直是华裔文学作品中的重要书写要素。文章梳理了华裔美国文学的发展及唐人街的形成历史,细读具有代表性的华裔文学作品中的唐人街书写现象,以此解读华裔群体的共同文化空间——唐人街及其文化情结。唐人街是华裔移民们的日常生活空间,展现的是一种区别于美国主流社会的不同生活方式。它承载着中国文化的各种外在表征,是浓缩在异域地理空间里的中国文化景观。
The development of Chinese-American literature has witnessed more than 170 years of the history of cultural exchange and influence between China and the United States,and also recorded the history of Chinese immigrants’difficult struggle in the foreign lands.As one of the ethnic literatures in the mainstream of American social culture,Chinese literature has undergone the transformation from its original obscurity to the current important place.Throughout its history,it can be found that the common cultural space of the Chinese community,namely Chinatown,has always been an important writing element in Chinese-American literature.By combing the development of Chinese-American literature and the formation history of Chinatown,this paper attempts to read in detail the phenomenon of writing Chinatown in those representative Chinese-American literary works,so as to interpret the common cultural space of the Chinese community,Chinatown and its cultural complex.Chinatown is a daily living space for Chinese immigrants,showing a different lifestyle that is different from that of the mainstream American society.It carries various external representations of Chinese culture and is a Chinese cultural landscape condensed in the exotic geographical space.
